PS: If using essential oils for aromatherapy, then the Persei Vaporizer is a clean, convenient and effective method of dispensing aromas. Essential oil and Herbal Vaporizers have been widely overlooked in terms of their impact on relaxation and wellbeing. Persei Vaporizer is used as an oil diffuser to release the active ingredient of the essential oil without altering its properties or its scent and aroma (as burning oils might do). PPS: Inhaling essential oils is much safer than oral use. The oils are biologically active when the airborne molecules are inhaled, stimulating olfactory nerves, which in turn stimulate centers of the brain. The molecules may trigger an immune response after entering the bronchial area and lungs, helping your body fight infection, for instance. |
